IMPROVEIVIENT IN CLOTH DRAWERS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.-

Te all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J ola-Bison, of New Britain, in the county of Hartford, and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Drawers for male and female wear or use, of which the following is a full clear, and exact description, reference .being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, and in whichv Figure l represents one of the halves or patterns of a pair of drawers, as spread out or extended, the same being shown as cnt accordingto my improvement, said figure also exhibiting by blue lines the style or pattern in ordinary or previous use;

Figiu'e-Z represents such improved pattern or half of the drawers as foldedlongitudinally ready for the other half or pattern to be sewed toit; and

Figure 3 a'rear view of the `drawers complete, when made in accordance with my improvement.

My invention consists in a novel mode of cutting drawers, whereby not only is there a considerable saving in material, but a better t or shape .is given to the chawers, and the seams arranged to run up the backs ofthe legs instead of the sides.

Any suitable material may be used, but it will suic'e here.- to assume the drawers as cut from a dat web similar on both sides or faces.

Referring to the accompanying drawing, A Arepre'- sent the two patterns or halves of a pair of drawers, the same being counterparts of each other. Each 0f said patterns is of greatest width at top, that is, from a to a, where it may measure aless distance across than the Widest portion in the old style or pattern, which is considerably lower down, shown by blue lines in fig. 1. By this disposition of the extreme width, a number of drawer-patterns may be cut fromv a web with less waste, or the lu'aterial be used up 'to greater advantage, the extreme width of the pattern being taken, say, 'oin opposite edges of the web alternately.

Avtaperingcut or opening, B, islthen made in the s, fig. 2,4 and bringing the opposite edges b and c of the pattern together, which establishes, when sewed to: gether, the seam d up the back of the leg, and upwards in the same direction or straight line to the top of thedrawers. This arrangement of l the seams d up the back instead of the sides, gives a proper or vrear. loca# tion and better fulness or shape to the calves; also, better fit generally to the drawers. In uniting the two patterns or halves together, the edges e of the tapering cuts or openings B, in the two patterns, vare stitched together, forming a centre back seam, j, while the opposite' edges g of said cuts or openings occupy a front position, the same forming the borders or edges of the usual face-opening in the drawers.. y

The same method of cutting the patterns and-uniting them and their respective parts is 'applicable to drawers both for male and female use, the general configuration of the patterns being changed only as much as necessary.

- Instead of the drawer-patterns beingl cut om a web, as described, they may be fashioned to the required form by weaving or knitting, so that the yterm icutting may here signify fashiomng or shaping.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

Cloth drawers made by forming each half or iegportion in one piece, with the seam, down thepback of the leg, and an opening, B, suitably located to form the body-connection of the two legs, substantially as shown and described.
